Housing Assistance
Safe, stable housing solutions for survivors of violence and those at risk of homelessness.
SafeChoice offers a range of housing programs designed to support survivors of domestic violence and their families in finding and maintaining safe, stable housing. Whether someone is at risk of eviction, currently homeless, or working toward long-term independence, our programs provide short- to mid-term financial assistance, advocacy, and wraparound support. Through services like rental assistance, housing searches, transitional housing, and ongoing emotional and legal support, we help survivors overcome barriers and build a pathway to permanent, affordable housing.
